Graduation

Remember: Graduation and Commencement are separate events.
You must complete your graduation application in order to graduate.

 

Need to apply for graduation?

Pratt officially awards (designates) degrees on three dates each year. A student that has completed all requirements for a degree will not be officially recognized as graduated until one of these three dates. Students must submit a graduation application in the semester prior to their anticipated graduation date in order to complete a degree.

Last Term Attended	Application filing deadlines	Graduation date	Commencement 2012
Summer	March 27	October 1	May 9, 2012
Fall	March 27	February 1	May 9, 2012
Spring	December 15	June 1	May 9, 2012

There is no ceremony when degrees are conferred on these three dates. Instead, Pratt celebrates the accomplishments of all recent graduates at a Commencement Ceremony held every May. Graduation and Commencement are separate events. Your participation in Commencement does not mean you have graduated. To take part in the ceremony, a student must have either filled out a graduation application for the spring term or graduated after the prior summer or fall term. For the 2012 ceremony this means any student who received a degree after either Summer 2011, Fall 2011, or Spring 2012. Those students that have 12 credits or less remaining at the end of spring term 2012 and want to attend the 2012 Commencement Ceremony must complete a Permission to Walk form in the Registrar's Office by March 31.
